US bill proposes SNAP changes, cuts billions

Proposed changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) could cut $295 billion in federal spending over a decade, impacting millions of recipients. The changes are part of President Trump's tax-cut legislation. The House-passed bill shifts costs to states, expands work requirements, and limits benefit growth, potentially reducing the average monthly food benefit. Over 42 million people currently receive SNAP, with the federal government covering the full cost of food benefits. The legislation, which narrowly passed the House, faces potential changes in the Senate. The bill aims to be signed into law by July 4th, and could significantly alter the food aid landscape.
